When US sneezes, STI catches a cold. Like it or not, we need to monitor the US markets.
- SPX: Up (New high)
- STI: Down-Sideways
- S-REITs: Sideways
My opinion
- STI downtrend remains for the week; closing at 3217.68.
- STI is still weak. Although it managed to close above it’s 20-day moving average, it is still below its 50 and 200-day moving averages.
- SPX made new high in the week, which helped lift STI; formed a new lower low.
- If SPX uptrend is affected, STI/ S-REITs will likely drop further.
What STI stocks are at risk?
These 4 companies make up almost half of STI (46.9% specifically). If STI drops, they’re likely the biggest losers.
If SPX sneezes, these big fours may catch a cold:
- $DBS(D05.SI) : 15.7% of STI
- $OCBC Bank(O39.SI) : 11.6%
- $UOB(U11.SI) : 11%
- $SingTel(Z74.SI) : 8.6%
